    So I am taking care of my own scratches. Could someone recommend a product that will help me take care of the scratches?

    Thanks.

    Pics of said scratches maybe?

    Could just need a little TLC with some compound and polish. If you need touch up paint I have had great luck with AutomotiveTouchup.

    IMO...Chemical Guys polish line leaves a lot to be desired. Go to your local auto parts store, pick up some Meguiars Ultimate Compound and Ultimate Polish. This combo, paired with the right pad(s), should be able to tackle any swirls and/or scratches you have, provided they're no too deep.

    for a guy who is just getting into understanding detailing and how in "detail" it can get. Do you have a recommendation on a pad(s) to use on the CM. Black is great but shows every damn thing
